HEADQUARTERS CAVALRY CORPS,
University Place,
July 4, 1863.
GENERAL:
I left two regiments at the top of the mountain on the Cowan road last night,
but General Forrests force being about to leave, it will be necessary
for me to withdraw the picket line to the forks of the road near University
Place. Up to this time the enemy has not ascended the mountain on the Cowan
road or the Brakefield road.
With great respect, your obedient servant,
JOS. WHEELER,
Major- General.
Leut. Gen. LEONIDAS POLK,
Commanding Polks Corps.
